Tapered Spring Seals

How to measure for a mechanical seal:

Measure the pump's motor shaft - this is much more accurate than measuring the old seal itself - select the closest size from the filter options

Measure the diameter of the seat housing in the pump, or the actual seal if this is not possible - select the closest size from the filter options

If you still have multiple options, compare the compressed working length dimensions with the original (inclding the seat). The compressed working length is the length of the seal when it is installed - usually compressed about half way.
